Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and lightly grease the sides and bottom of an 8x8 glass or ceramic baking dish with butter. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine peaches, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, flour, cinnamon and salt and toss together until well combined.
2 lbs peaches, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1 Tablespoon lemon juice, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon table salt
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, table salt, and cinnamon.
¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon table salt, ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the oat mixture until it begins to clump together.
8 Tablespoons unsalted butter
Assemble & Bake
Give the peach mixture one more stir then pour it evenly into prepared baking dish. Scatter crumble topping evenly over the peach mixture.
Transfer baking dish to center rack of preheated oven and bake for 28-33 minutes or until peach mixture is bubbling and topping is golden brown. Peaches should be tender if pierced with a paring knife or fork.
Allow to cool at least 10-15 minutes before serving warm, preferably topped with vanilla ice cream!

Notes
Peaches
Weigh peaches before slicing. You can peel or not peel the peaches, some people don’t enjoy the skins (as they can still be tough even after cooking) but I don’t personally mind them and would rather save myself the effort of peeling the peaches. Frozen peaches are not ideal but can work, thaw peaches before using and note that the crisp may be juicier than it would be with fresh peaches.
